Known as the largest photo- and video-sharing platform worldwide, Instagram now offers a vast amount of features to help businesses market and sell directly on the app. Marketers and businesses alike should learn how to best use Instagram and automate their marketing efforts on this social channel to expand growth, build brand awareness, and drive sales.

Still, wondering if Instagram is the platform for your business? Take a look at the following stats and Instagram fun facts.
